MMORPG Tycoon 2

I'd classify this review as "Yes, but..." Who this game is designed for currently - People who want to design a world with a ton of customization to make a variety of regions with a good amount of art designs to fill it to your hearts content. I think you could have 10+ zones of true uniqueness fairly easily. Who this game is currently no designed for - People who want to design a MMORPG Wait, what Currently, items are not unique and don't drive any DPS numbers. Same with armor. No epic questlines. Zones can only hold so many players before needing to go to another zone, and it's recommended that zone be the same level as the overloaded zone. If you do level range zone, it gets overcrowded too easily. You can customize some spells and buffs, and it impacts "expected DPS" which is how the class gets "rated" but it doesn't really seem to factor in buffs into the equation. Every region "needs" and Inn and Respawn, making me feel like every region MUST have some kind of town or village in it, which just isn't how MMOs work. There are a ton of "dead" zones that is just mob grinding and only a few major cities per server. It is difficult to do this currently, as scenery matters an…

amazing game, devs support trans/lgptq rights. the music is very well done, even in its early acces state alot is customizable. (mops, quest givers(the body parts often times dont fully snap togeter, and browns are more of a rarity, but its not really a big deal), player classes/attacks, specific houses, inviroment, etc) sadly one cannot give a quest giver a story line for the quests they give. it takes a bit to get into it, but once youre in its quiet adicting. this game is especally for you when you like to decorate and build in storys updates come rather slow but it makes sense since only a small development team is behind this game. i can see how this game can cost more once its out of early acces.

This game is ambitious, and very well done for everything it's trying to accomplish. I'm hooked. I turned the autosave interval up to 30 minutes (from the default 5), and even still I keep getting startled every time it delays an object rotation or a tab switch, because surely it's only been about 6 or 7 minutes... It hasn't. It is a *massive* time sink, that I have huge difficulty pulling myself away from. 7 hours gone in what feels like an hour and a half. All while playing what I can affectionately call "The Sims" for wannabe gamedevs. I find myself carefully pouring over what to name this district, how to describe this monster's attack, do I put 3 isopods in this dungeon cluster, or 2 and an elite? These are details that don't actually matter for anything mechanically in the game, but every time I see them, it makes me happy, and immerses me further into this wonderful delusion. This game definitely won't be for everyone. It takes a lot of time to set up a small area that you really believe. And it takes a lot of trial & error practice to learn how all the pieces play together. But if you're a cozy obsessive, it's all worth it. You can definitely tell it's still an early …

Great - wish they would update a bit faster after years of early access but still a gem! If u read this mr. dev: I need better fighting mechanics like summons for Boss fights or channel spells :D

fun but complex

I play sims for the progression and "breaking the game" and I played this game because the role of a designer and balancer sounded intriguing while also allowing me to flex my creativity muscle a bit. This game accomplished that in its current state and I am happy with what I have. There will always be room to grow with this game with things like a creatable main story line, quests that aren't fetch or kill, and more stats, but I do think enough of a foundation is already here to be called a good game. My most pointed feedback would be that the outside your game world needs to be more felt while playing. My games "rank" never really changed or mattered, the "trending features" I just ignored after the second patch, I only have the same streamer ever join my world despite being a continually growing + highly rated game, etc. etc. These points I am making aren't negatives per se, they are just me noting that to myself the "Tycoon" part of this game isn't really felt it's more just, "build an mmorpg".
